WRIGHT CAN FLY 1,000 MILES

His Perfected Machine Will Carry Enough Fuel For Trip. New York. Aug. 10.—Orville Wright, the aviator, who sailed from New York with his sister, Miss Katherine Wright, on the Kron Prinzessin Cecilie, submitted to a brief interview at his hotel In which he said, in effect, that either he or his brother, Wilbur, barring mishaps, could fly a thousand biles. > While Wright did not say this directly he hinted as much by saying that their perfected machine could carry fuel enough to last twenty-five hours, which would enable it to travel a thousand miles if a forty mile speed was maintained.
